It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization.

The paper describes a theoretical study on the speed of the torsional elastic waves propagating in a circular cylinder whose outer radius varies periodically as a harmonic function of the axial coordinate. The approximate solution for the phase speed has been obtained using the perturbation technique for sinusoidal modulation of small amplitude. It is shown that the wave speed in the cylinder with a corrugated outer surface is less than that in a smooth cylinder by the square of the amplitude of the surface perturbation. This theoretical prediction agrees reasonably with an experimental observation reported earlier. It is also shown that the wave speed reduction due to the surface corrugation becomes larger for a thinner cylinder and for a bigger density of corrugation.

Based on the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) theory, this paper realizes an easier SVPWM strategy, which is equivalently implemented by CBSPWM with zero-sequence voltage injection. The traditional SVPWM strategy has no effect on controlling the neutral-point voltage balance. In order to solve the neutral-point voltage unbalance problem for neutral-point-clamped (NPC) three-level inverters, this paper proposes a neutral-point voltage balance controller. The proposed controller realizes controlling the neutral-point voltage balance by dynamically calculating the offset superimposed to the three-phase modulation waves of an equivalent SVPWM strategy. Compared with the traditional SVPWM strategy, the proposed neutral-point voltage balance controller has a strong ability to balance the neutral-point voltage, has good steady-state performance, improves the output waveforms quality and is easy for digital implementation. An experiment has been carried out on a NPC three-level inverter prototype based on a digital signal processor-complex programmable logic device (DSP-CPLD). The obtained experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed neutral-point voltage balance controller.

Quasi Z-Source Multilevel Inverter (QZMLI) topology has attracted grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems in recent days. So there is a remarkable research thrust in switching techniques and control strategies of QZMLI. This paper presents the mathematical analysis of Phase shift- Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation (PS-PWAM) for QZMLI and emphasizes on the advantages of the technique. The proposed technique uses the maximum and minimum envelopes of the reference waves for generation of pulses and proportion of it to generate shoot-through pulses. Hence, it results in maximum utilization of input voltage, lesser switching loss, reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the output voltage, reduced inductor current ripple and capacitor voltage ripple. Due to these qualities, the QZMLI with PS-PWAM emerges to be the best suitable for PV based grid connected applications compared to Phase shift-Pulse Width Modulation (PS-PWM). The detailed math analysis of the proposed technique has been disclosed. Simulation has been performed for the proposed technique using MATLAB/Simulink. A prototype has been built to validate the results for which the pulses were generated using FPGA /SPARTAN 3E.

광주파수 변조된 펌프와 프로브 빛의 광섬유 내 중첩을 시간 영역에서 직접 다루는 방법으로 공간 선택적 브릴루앙 산란 방식의 분포형 광섬유 센서를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 광섬유 내 브릴루앙 이득 분포의 시간/공간적 변화를 구하였고, 이종 광섬유의 접속과 온도 분포가 존재하는 경우에 대해 시뮬레이션 하여 분포형 센서로서 합당한 결과를 얻었다. 변조 파형으로서 정현파 대신에 삼각파를 이용한 경우에 정현파에 비해 공간 분해능 면에서 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Through intensity modulation induced by micro bending of an optical fiber, a sensor detects the pressure and frequency of acoustic wave has been implemented. Axial slots on the cylinder suface with a period of 5.5 mm induce efficient microbending of the fiber, and a rubber sleeve covering the fiber enhances the fiber. Compared with a conventional hydrophone, it has a low minimum detectable pressure and can detect acoustic wave in 100Hz - 2KHz range.

The interest of THz technology has been growing fast due to the potential of its vast applications. Today´s THz technology pursues semiconductor based miniature electronic devices operating at undeveloped electromagnetic frequency band between 100 GHz and 10 THz. Tremendous research progresses on THz technology have been made for decades. However, it is limited in the power and performance of THz sources and systems for real applications. (omitted)

이 연구는 다음 두가지 사실에 기초를 두고 있다. 첫째, 혈관의 맥동은 전통적으로 동양의 한방에서 오랫동안 인체진단을 위해 사용되어져 왔다는 것이고, 둘째는 신체조직에서 파동의 비선형전파특성이 의용진단에 유용한 정보를 준다는 것이다. 따라서, 혈관의 벽을 전파하는 맥동파의 비선형전파특성은 의용진단을 위하여 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다는 것을 예측할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는, 혈관을 따른 두 지점에서 변위파형을 초음파 도플러 신호에 대한 직교검파에 의해 구하고, 여기에 바이스펙트럼해석과 볼테라모델전개를 적용하여 두지점 사이의 비선형 전달함수를 추정하며, 이것이 의용진단에 적용가능한지 모의샘플에 대하여 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

본 논문에서는 다중 직교 부반송파 변조 기반의 새로운 UHF RFID 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 태그 송신-리더 수신 통신에서는 4 부반송파를 이용하여 1.6 Mbps까지 전송속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 회로의 복잡도 증가를 억제하면서도 전송 속도를 향상시키기 위해서, 태그는 부반송파로서 구형파를 사용하고 각 부반송파는 각각의 부하변조기를 이용한다. 다중 직교 부반송파 기반의 변조 방식을 사용하였기 때문에 제안한 통신 방식은 기존의 UHF 대역 RFID 규격을 만족한다. 리더는 OFDM 복조기를 사용한다. 태그가 리더의 CW 반송파를 역산란하므로 리더 복조기에는 반송파 주파수 오프셋 보정회로는 필요하지 않다. 실험에서는 개발 시스템은 10.8 dB의 잡음 밀도당 비트에너지 비에서 10-5의 비트오율 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

This paper develops a wireless sensor for online fatigue crack detection and failure warning based on crack-induced nonlinear ultrasonic modulation. The wireless sensor consists of packaged piezoelectric (PZT) module, an excitation/sensing module, a data acquisition/processing module, a wireless communication module, and a power supply module. The packaged PZT and the excitation/sensing module generate ultrasonic waves on a structure and capture the response. Based on nonlinear ultrasonic modulation created by a crack, the data acquisition/processing module periodically performs fatigue crack diagnosis and provides failure warning if a component failure is imminent. The outcomes are transmitted to a base through the wireless communication module where two-levels duty cycling media access control (MAC) is implemented. The uniqueness of the paper lies in that 1) the proposed wireless sensor is developed specifically for online fatigue crack detection and failure warning, 2) failure warning as well as crack diagnosis are provided based on crack-induced nonlinear ultrasonic modulation, 3) event-driven operation of the sensor, considering rare extreme events such as earthquakes, is made possible with a power minimization strategy, and 4) the applicability of the wireless sensor to steel welded members is examined through field and laboratory tests. A fatigue crack on a steel welded specimen was successfully detected when the overall width of the crack was around $30{\mu}m$, and a failure warnings were provided when about 97.6% of the remaining useful fatigue lives were reached. Four wireless sensors were deployed on Yeongjong Grand Bridge in Souht Korea. The wireless sensor consumed 282.95 J for 3 weeks, and the processed results on the sensor were transmitted up to 20 m with over 90% success rate.
